This royal tour was organized by Kensington Palace at the request of the Foreign Office after the BREXIT usually known as ‘Soft Diplomacy’. From the statement issued by Palace the agenda of the tour is:
The Duke and Duchess will prioritise opportunities to meet the young people of both countries; from entrepreneurs, to mental health campaigners, and bright young talents in music and the arts. The tour will also take in the stunning scenery and architectural feats of Poland and Germany. The Duke and Duchess will wander through the beautiful market of Gdansk flanked by terracotta houses and cobbled pathways; they will take part in a rowing race on the Neckar River; and they will tour the spectacular Elbphilharmonie Concert hall in Hamburg. The five day tour will also include time acknowledging the complex 20th century histories of each country with visits to the Warsaw Rising Museum, Stutthof Concentration Camp, and the Berlin Holocaust Memorial. At each location Their Royal Highnesses will meet survivors of these periods, who will describe their personal experiences.
Once settling the kids in a safe environment at Belvedere Palace in Warsaw where they will be staying during the Poland tour. William and Kate were officially greeted by President Duda and the First Lady at the Presidential Palace.
For the first family tour of the year 2017, The Duchess opted for her signature designer Alexander McQueen today. Catherine wore the ivory Wool and Silk Blend Twill Peplum Coat thanks to Kate’s Closet for the quick dress id.
The impeccably tailored in Italy from mid-weight ivory wool and silk-blend twill coat features a feminine V-neckline and gently kicks out at the waist into a rippling peplum that softly folds at the back.
It has three-quarter sleeves, a concealed front closure. The coat is available at Net-A-Porter for $1538 that is 50% of the original retail cost.
Duchess paired the outfit with her trusty Gianvito Rossi praline suede pumps. Shoes are currently available at Gianvito Rossi.
Today a new set of accessories was debuted by The Duchess. It includes a pair of earrings, a necklace, and a ring made of ruby surrounded by diamonds.
Duchess Catherine was carrying her red Jenny Packham ‘Casa’ clutch and wearing her Cartier Ballon Bleu watch.
